Defense Lives Here

8 steals and 10 blocks.....as active and disruptive as I've seen in a while. Still need some work on the glass, but if the Boilers play with that type of intensity consistently the rest of the year, they will be in really good shape, IMO.
Sometimes its better to not go for the contest and block out though
The half court D was suffocating. Butler scored a lot of points in the second half in transition because Purdue seemed to relax a little with the big lead, but take away transition points and this was a terrific defensive effort.
D was great yesterday....... Butler looked like a non NCAAT team......but just maybe, that is the case.
And Painter never changes his offense. He stubbornly plays slow, plodding, half court.

I know that you are completely TIC, but Robbie Hummel was talking recently about how much the Purdue offense has advanced in recent years.
Not true at all. In fact, CMP has had to go towards more sets this season because the players tend to take hurried shots. Never mind the fact Purdue led the B1G in scoring last season and currently sits 26th in the county and 1st in the conference with scoring 86.0 points per game.

My post was TIC in the spirit of BoilerSteel "marveling" that our defense is so good without playing a zone. These are the two most common criticisms that the "realists" use for Purdue not winning.
I fixed my post above.

No need for you to apologize for my poor communication. We are in complete agreement on this topic.
